Leo Villareal in his studio

Cool Hunting

“Our 65th video visits New York-based light sculptor Leo Villareal in his Chelsea studio a week before his third solo show in Manhattan inaugurates the new Gering & López gallery. Leo walks us through his latest three sculptures that he's exhibiting, including ”Hive,“ an interactive piece, ”Field,“ which is a massive sunset-like work of shifting colors and a piece like ”Origin“ based on Newtonian physics. We also get a peak at the custom software Leo uses to program his mesmerizing patterns of light and get a sampling of other large-scale outdoor installations he's completed.”
